My Dearest Mary,
It's been a lot of years since we attended St. Vincent's together! You were my very best friend and this is the first I have heard of you in all these years! I cannot express my feelings as I am so upset for you after just learning about Amber . I couldnt let this time pass without telling you how much I love and miss you and am praying for you with my whole heart! I will be in touch!
Love,

I taught Amber in third grade--she was a loving sweet soul--always happy in all our activities. I am so sorry for this tragic loss to you, to Ashley, Madison and all members of your family. Amber will be in my daily prayers, as well as all of you. This is such a difficult reality to accept and we can journey through this with God's constant help. Her photo is so revealing of her --beautiful happy smile.

Mary and family,
My heart breaks for you. There are no adequate words. I am praying for God's grace as you walk this path.

Iam so deeply sorry for your loss of such a beautiful nd wonderful young lady. My heart truly aches for you. I am also the mother of a beautiful young woman taken too early. I found help one night as I was down on my knees crying and begging for GOD to please help me, I could not go on like I was. GOD sent me to the Bible to Ecclesiastes 3 to read; through this he told me it was her time and that I had mourned enough. I now feel tremendously blessed to have had my Katy for 26 years and now I thank GOD every day for allowing me to have this wonderful child for those years. Nobody is ever ready to loose their child and a part of you is forever gone. I pray that GOD will comfort eacch of you and give you the strength to go on. There will never be a day when you won't miss her laugh and smile but rejoice to know she is in the arms of JESUS. If I can help just be listening I will be here for you all. May GOD truly comfort and sustain you thru these difficult days. May GOD bless each of you.

October 2, 2012

Amber was such a sweet, kind and beautiful girl. She was loved by our family and will not be forgotten. Her loss has affected us deeply and we know that no words can ease your grief and heartache. We will be praying for you.

Michael Maloney

October 2, 2012

Sometimes something so horrific happens it defies comprehension. This tragedy is one of those times.
Amber was close friends with both Isabelle and Oliver. She was a frequent guest at our home. Unlike most teenagers, she awakened fairly early and would come join me for breakfast.
It was during those occasions that I soon realized what a polite, kind and considerate person Amber was. Her beautiful smile and happy, cheerful attitude was more than matched by her gracious inner beauty.
Now Amber is at peace with the Lord. In the words of Saint Patrick, "One does not die, rather they are borne into Heaven".
It is her family and friends who are left with the pain and suffering of losing Amber, most especially her parents, who must lay to rest their child. My heart goes out to them.
